    "This is a well-preserved neighborhood in San Francisco. Very family oriented and very neighborly people. Great schools in the area. Close to both main freeways (101 and 280) due to junction being nearby. "

    "Portola is not known to many San Franciscans by either name or location. It is arguably one of the most ethnically and culturally diverse of S.F.'s neighborhoods—its residents are a unique blend of nationalities. It is conveniently close to S.F.'s two major freeways. McLaren Park and a full-length, 9-hole golf course are nearby."

    "Recently bought a condo in Portola and love it. Bordered by Silver Avenue, McLaren Park and the 101 Highway, the Portola, District is a family-oriented, multi-cultural neighborhood. Comprised mainly of, single-family homes, the Portola’s residents represent a variety of ages, incomes, and cultural backgrounds, including new residents and others who have lived in the neighborhood for over 80 years. San Bruno Avenue is the thriving commercial, main street of the Portola District. The street is a mix of neighborhood-serving, retail, locally-owned restaurants, green grocers, and specialty food stores which have served the community for generations. It also features a high concentration of vibrant businesses owned by and serving Chinese Americans. In the last few years, San Bruno Avenue has undergone significant physical improvements including the undergrounding of utility lines, placement of, new street lights, planting of trees and fortnight lilies, mural installations, and numerous storefront improvement projects. The Portola Neighborhood Association, comprised of local merchants, property owners, and residents, is committed to improving the commercial corridor and the neighborhood. Other nonprofit organizations in the area provide support services and activities targeting local youth, seniors and immigrants."

    "The yards are larger here in than most of San Francisco so gardening is big here. An annual garden tour, The Portola Garden Tour, held in late September os a neighborhood favorite. McLaren Park, second only o Golden Gate Park in size, is a treasure. Palega Rec Center at Portola Park and the Portola Branch Library are great places for families and kids o meet and hang out. San Bruno Avenue, the commercial district, is attracting a lot of attention. Four Barrel Coffee recently opened there, a local hangout shuttered last fall, Breakfast at Tiffany's is set to reopen soon and a nano brewery is slated to open in 2015. Add to that, the established businesses like Fat Beli Deli, Cinco de Mayo, Ling Ling, Red House Bakery provide a lively ethnic mix. The community is involved and several Portola Neighbor Association projects, a huge snake mural and a pocket park on San Bruno Avenue add color and lively activity. Most people still don't know about the area. It's nice. Come see for yourself. Exit 101 at Silver or Paul Avenues, 280 at Alemany. From the Mission take Silver Avenue or Persia through McLaren Park to get here, from Bernal take Alemany to San Bruno Avenue."

    "Great friendly neighborhood for families. Fun mix of Asian, Hispanic, & Caucasian, increasingly seen in the types of businesses opening up on San Bruno Avenue. The parks are great, though under utilized. Great community pride. San Bruno Avenue is becoming a more desirable place to shop, eat, and grab coffee. Transit could be better. My family loves living here."
